Abe Pilson and Emancipation Adams, two
members of the Tar Heel Coon band, got
into An alteration last week while returning
from colored german on the Bottom, at
Freedom Beasley's place. From words they
soon arrived at razors, and when up near the
Gap, Abe piayfully asked Surrender VIII
hams whether he would take some OF the
light or some of the dark, and thereupon
carved Emancipation in an oblique
manner, about north by northwest,
as the crow flies, from the wishbone
to the watch pocket, in such a way as to let
the moonlight in on his works. Friends had
to put his vest on hind side before to keep
him from making the frontispiece to an al
manac of himself. At first it was thought
that Emancipation had been seriously in
jured. but Surrender Williams, who plays
the fiddle, took the A string from his instru-
msnt and sewed up Mr.. Adams in neat and
tasty manner, so that if the fiddle string had
matched the goods in color you couldn't have
told where the stitches had been taken. Ad-
ans is doing well, but will have to coniine
himself to coarse food till the wound heals

deal Of nonsense and unintentional swinding
about the legislation on the trade dollar. At

circulated among the people Then congress

" A Lyin' Old Whig."

A story OF southern politics was picked up
at Thomasvtlle by Mr. Van Zandt A poll
tician who was running for Office desired to
secure the negro vote and had bought up
colored preacher who agreed for SIS to make
an address to his congregation in favor of the
candidate. The politician said TO the clergy
man: Il think the best way for you to influ-
ence your people is to let them understand
that am neither a Democrat nor Republican,
but an old line Whig. 1t is best to break up
the feeling that exists between Democrats
and Republicans and start out on the new
line, and this is just as good a time as any TO
do it." When the clergyman got up in his
pulpit and began talking to his audience he
followed the advice of the politician in this
manner: MY dear bredren, you are net to
pronounce upon Massa Blank for de sins Of
omission or commission by eder de Demo
cratic or Republican party. Massa Blank am
neder Democrat or Republican. He is
simply lyin' old Whig. When the poll
tician heard of it he tore his hair.-New York

The presence of Mr.. James Russell Lowell
has given Chicago a tremendous boom as .
literary center. In literary circles this boom
is not spoken OF as boom, but as an impetus
impetus being word of such classic pedigree
as to render it preferable to the lowly and
vulgar word boom. This impetus first became
apparent last Saturday afternoon when one
of the distinguished members Of the Chicago
Literary club--a manufacturer of linseei oil
happened to call at the business office of
another distinguished member of the club, a
wholesale dealer in hides and pelts.
Il see by the papers" said the first littera-
teur, "that James Russell Lowell is going 10
be in town next week"
"Lowell' Lowell'' queried the second lit
terateur, as if he were trying TO place the
name; ''oh, YES, remember; the author Of the
One Horse Shay"
YES, he's so ng to read poem at Central
Music hall next Tuesday" explained the first
litterateur. 'and it has occurred to ME that
we ought 10 ele..t him an honorary member
Of the club"
"Well," said the second htterateur, .'we'll
think about that-there's no special hurry
You know We have to lie a little careful about
taking up every stranger that comes along;
however, we'll talk 1t over at the next meet

The Wife Reflects on Their Courtship and
Wonders Why She Changed Her Name.
1t makes me tired when l sit and reflect on
the courtship that made me change my name

and romance, and looked upon Mr. Bowser
as a god. One of his favorite pastimes WAS
30 place me where the lamplight fell upon my
hair and to address me as his golden haired
angel Poor silly girl that l was, l thought
it would always last! One evening after We
had been married five or six weeks I took my
stand under the gas and asked him if his
angel was as dear To him as ever
"Humph!" he growled as he looked me
over
But won't you praise my golden hair?"
Golden carrots, Mrs. Bowser! II | had
<sch mop of carToty hair on my head as you
pDssess, I'd go hide it away in a barrel!'
Then you have ceased TO love met'
Ceased nothing! have simply got tired
OF all this boshy nonsense, and | propose to
settle down 70 the realities of life"
During our courtShip Mr.. Bowser delighted
TO read TO me from book of poems and he
insisted on holding one of my hands while he

1t might just as well as not be understood
first as last: The railroad men OF this country
are not going to get any free puffs in the
newspapers after the interstate commerce
bill goes into effect. As soon the free pass
system dies the custom of referring to Col
---, the general agent Of the -
and - railway, a talented, cultured
genial and popular official" will fall into dis
repute. There be no genial-no, nor any cul-
tured-gentiemen in the railroad business,
unless they pay for their geniality and their
culture at regular advertising rates Nor will
there he any colonies in the railroad profession
on and after March 81 next-at least, so far
as We are concerned. Every man enjoying
the title of colonel by virtue of his ability to
issue free railroad pass will he degraded to
the rank of a plain mister as soon as this inter-
state commerce bill becomes a living, breath
ing, santient, desolating thing. The grinding
monopoliSts shall lie brought down to the
business level Of the average meek and lowly
patrons who stand around our doors, waiting
to get into line for their turns at the adver-
tising window. When they seek personal
notices in the papers they will have TO pay
for them, and when we in turn find it neces-
sary to patronize the railroads we will walk.

Ellen Terry once having received special
courtesy from a newspaper man, offered to
introduce him to Mr. Irving, but unfor-
tunately when, shortly afterward. the oppor-
tunity Of doing 81 presented itself. she had
utterly forgotten his name, but felt that it
would be an i'll compliment TO tell him so.
Her ready wit did not forsake her in this try
ing emergency and she promptly said 10 him:
DO you know, I've made bet with Mr..
Irving. and YOU can decide it. l say you spell
your name one way; he SAYS another. Write
1t for me" All unaware Of the trick which
was being played upon him, the gentleman
wrote his name and handed it to the actress.
She glanced st it hastily, laughed, and said
gayly, I've won the bet" 1t was such q
realistic bit Of acting that the newspaper man.
although it was his business TO criticise plays
and players, never detected it
